Very interesting read. Here is the bottomline: “…While “diversity and inclusion” may sound a lot like antiracism, they’re really not the same thing. In some organizations, asking the Chief Diversity Officer or D&I Committee Chair to lead its antiracism efforts might be as inappropriate and ineffective as asking the Chief Human Resource Officer to design and code a new Sharepoint site for employee feedback. While D&I is quite broad by design (since the focus is after all on diversity), antiracism on the other hand is a much more specific problem requiring targeted focus…”

If You’re Expecting Diversity & Inclusion Leaders To Fix Workplace Racism, Think Again

One of the biggest mistakes companies are making in pursuit of antiracism is reflexively assigning this "task" to their D&I departments or leaders. In many cases, it's a doomed strategy at best.
